This is a repository-local compatibility entrypoint for the canonical Circuit Weaver KiCad skill.
Immediately read and follow skills/kicad/SKILL.md relative to the repo root.
Treat that file as the source of truth for workflow steps, scripts, generated files, and related skill handoffs.
Do NOT run all CLI commands at once. The canonical skill places each command at a specific workflow step — follow the step-by-step instructions, not a flat list.
Create, import, analyze, or resume an end-to-end Circuit Weaver electronic design with durable project state. Load the canonical workflow from skills/circuit-weaver/SKILL.md. Use kicad for one-off file inspection, bom for sourcing, and design-wizard only when explicitly requested.
Use only for an explicitly requested step-by-step Circuit Weaver questionnaire. Load the canonical workflow from skills/design-wizard/SKILL.md; use circuit-weaver for ordinary automatic new-design requests.
Route non-critical nets on a real KiCad PCB or Specctra DSN through Circuit Weaver's fail-closed Freerouting integration. Use after placement and net-class setup when the user requests autorouting, a validated SES session, routing diagnostics, or post-route cleanup. Keep critical power, RF, clock, crystal, switching, and differential nets manual.
Generate KiCad schematics from a Circuit Weaver design.yaml or a project's own checked-in generator. Use for large, repetitive, or machine-synchronized designs. Prefer the Circuit Weaver CLI unless the project actually contains and documents its own generation scripts.
Design and verify professional multi-sheet KiCad hierarchies generated from Circuit Weaver functional sections. Use when adding, splitting, renaming, or reviewing schematic sheets, cross-sheet interfaces, root symbols, sheet ownership, or final hierarchy ERC.
Review Circuit Weaver's exhaustive placement proposal and apply approved SVG coordinates to a real electrically annotated KiCad PCB. Use after schematic generation for placement optimization, official-reference review, interactive SVG editing, strict reference reconciliation, and PCB placement handoff. Do not treat review artifacts as fabrication data.
